Did You Miss the Webinar on Metastatic Breast Cancer?
You can watch it online hereDr. Matthew Ellis, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX, provided a review of the research presented at SABCS 2016 specifically for MBC. This webinar was in collaboration with MBCN and Theresa's Research Foundation.

  SupportHealthCoverageSupport Access to Health Coverage 
The Affordable Care Act has enabled many people affected by breast and ovarian cancers to get the health coverage they need to fight these diseases. It should not be repealed without a plan to replace it with something comparable or better. Loss of vital benefits for the people who need it will be catastrophic for those affected. We strongly believe that health coverage, particularly for our population, must be continued without loss of benefits, and that people should not be blocked from accessing coverage because of pre-existing conditions.
 
Please let your Congressperson and Senator know how you feel about the importance of uninterrupted health care benefits for women and men facing breast and ovarian cancers. Find your senators here and your Congressperson here (in the upper right corner of each site).

"Since I have a positive genetic PALB1&2 & am triple negative, I had a bilateral mastectomy in July..."


" I am wondering if anyone else has had a pleural effusion that ended up indicating a recurrence? I am very scared. "

I just got my 3 month CT Scan results December 23 and it showed no active cancer!"

Pink and Teal Corporate Education
A diagnosis of breast or ovarian cancer affects everyone in the family, not just the person diagnosed. A Pink and Teal Seminar in your workplace can empower you and your colleagues to take control of your health and prepare for a future family health crisis. Contact Arlene Matlick to schedule a free Pink and Teal seminar today. 

On January 8, the NY Chinese Harp Music Center held its annual student concert-- with a twist. One of its volunteers, high school student Victoria Zhu, arranged for the event to be a fundraiser for SHARE, and raised over $6,000!

Victoria heard about SHARE from a teacher at her school and decided to ask the music center about using its upcoming recital as a way to support SHARE's work. The music center provides instruction in traditional Chinese music. "I was really intrigued by the idea of gathering the community together to combat cancer. Breast and ovarian cancer are very dear to my heart," she says.

The concert was a tremendous success! SHARE is so grateful for Victoria's creative idea and the generosity of the music center.
